ASW - Fabriano Artistico Cold Press Blow Out Deal!

You may be familiar with the old Artistico and of course UNO, a favorite with watercolorists for many years. They have been discontinued to give rise to the greatest range of professional watercolor papers ever made. Fabriano is a mill that is never satisfied and strives to be the best paper mill for artists all over the world. So they created two brand new ranges of paper both called Artistico that would better satisfy the needs of the artist and allow the watercolorist to stay within a family of product no mattter where their creative paths may lead them.Important new developments include the following: a beautiful new cold pressed surface that has been called "the most beautiful watercolor surface in the world", slightly upgraded rough grain and smooth hot pressed surfaces that, together with cold pressed provide three distinct surfaces for varying painting approaches. Plus Fabriano kept the Uno’s Soft press surface in its extra white range too! Artistico is available in two whites: Traditional White which has a warm hue, and Extra White that has a brilliant white hue. All sheets are made of 100% cotton, have 4 deckle edges, are mould-made, acid-free and have no optical brighteners. All sheets are internally sized and feature an external surface sizing that is the most advanced in the world. Wait until you see how Artistico shows off your art! Artistico takes color beautifully like no other sheet before and withstands lifting and scraping. Ideal for watercolor, gouache, ink, acrylic, pen & ink, drawing and printmaking. Available in 22x30" sheets; also blocks and rolls with two deckle edges. Six sheets value packs of 140 lb. cold pressed papers are a best value. Imported from Italy.
